Masks, Masks &
More Masks
A mask is a device for driving the
personality out of the body and allowing a spirit to take
possession of it. ~ Keith Johnstone. (Sort of spooky, don't
you think?)
Although masks were originally
created to cover or disguise the face, today they have
become a very popular decorator item because of their beauty
and mystique. We at FolkArt.com™
are proud to present the assortment shown below.

people. |
